I enjoyed your guitar playing :thumb: That Jaguar looks awesome!

The Flanger Hoax is a completely inspirational tool. I love it so much that I have 2 of them. It definitely has a few shortcomings, and isn’t exactly the most convenient pedal to use on a guitarist’s pedalboard. But for experimentalists and studio fiends, it’s essential, IMO.

I didn’t recommend RonSound because the OP asked for somewhere “in NYC”; but yeah, RonSound does excellent work :thumb: 😆

Putting a compressor before the Worm is the easiest way. Turning down your volume before the Worm is the other easiest way. but no guitarist ever wants to hear that advice

I haven’t heard of any mods to increase headroom, but if the 2 above options aren’t feasible, then the Worm might not be your bag.

There are websites out there that can give the technical definitions of each.

In laymans terms, a through zero flanger set to do the jet-plane swoosh will eventually pass through a notch of silence (the zero point).

The filter matrix freezes a notch, so it behaves more like a sort of metallic sounding equalizer.

It’s October, Halloween season. I’m listening to Bauhaus and reading Edward Gorey books like I usually do this time of year

This is my first time seeing this pic. Holy Analog!!! That looks like way too much fun. I totally need an EHX Clockworks or a Sequencer.

If you look inside the Wiggler, the guts are already crammed in there without any room to spare. I can’t imagine how they would fit all of it into a smaller enclosure. IMO, it wouldn’t be a Wiggler any more if you removed the tubes. And if you keep the tubes, you gotta keep the toroidal transformer and the wall wart.

The only design difference I would make is to mount the power jack somewhere other than the side. I might have placed it on the top-side by the jacks, or even the top/corner-face of the pedal just above the knobs.
